Sexy Snippets from 30 Seconds

30
Seconds, my newest romantic-suspense, is heavy on thrill but is equally steamy.
With Hurricane Crimes, I led up to the sex scenes but cut it short, or in other
words used the “behind closed doors” method. You know what my characters are
doing, but I keep their deed private. With 30 Seconds, I did the opposite. I
openly reveal every sizzling moment. In no way is my story erotica, but it may
make your face flush. *wink*

Below
I am sharing a couple of sentences from five steamy scenes involving my
characters Dani and Blake:

1.He
pulled her closer, and she strained against him with desperation hot in her
veins. It throbbed, pounded, and banged inside her screaming body.

2.He
traced her lips with his finger until her lips trembled with anticipation. When
her mouth parted, he kissed her greedily. The inside of his mouth was hot and
his kiss warmed her entire body.

3.She
kissed him with urgency. Her tongue probed his mouth, tasting and savoring his
strong flavors. Then he changed the angle of the kiss and his mouth became savage,
his lips bruising.

4.She
threw her arms around him and crushed her lips to his. Her hands went on a
frenzy to touch hot skin as they pushed and pulled each other to the car. When Blake
grabbed her and lifted her at the hips, she locked her legs around him and
deepened the kiss.

5.“Come
here.” She pulled him to the fireplace and tugged him to the floor. She trailed
hot, greedy kisses down his chest, whispering, “I’m going to savor every second
with you.”

I write steamy scenes, not my favorite part of writing romance, and find when I read them I'm analyzing the writing in hopes of improving my own scenes. I think the dialogue 'during' is the most difficult to make realistic.

My NA as Ashelyn shows sex. I do have characters who have sex in my YA but I don't show that at all. I'm just not comfortable with younger readers seeing that in my books. It's implied or stated but not shown.

I think I got a lot better at writing steamy scenes after I made my much-belated sexual debut at 28. My ex wasn't the world's best, but at least I finally had personal experience over almost five years.
